Join us for our Childbirth Education Weekend Intensive on Saturday 12/13 9am-3pm and Sunday 12/14 9am-12pm.

From your first contractions to meeting your baby, we walk you through what to expect using research-based information and real-world strategies. You’ll learn the stages of labor, explore pain-relief options and medical interventions, and build the communication skills to help you confidently advocate for your birth preferences.

Our hands-on class lets you practice comfort measures—breathing, movement, massage, and partner support—and includes a guided hospital tour so you arrive feeling ready and reassured.

Held in a relaxed small-group setting, this class creates space for open discussion and connection with other expectant parents. No matter what kind of birth you are preparing for, you'll leave feeling informed, empowered, and supported.

🏠I live in Burlington, VT.
🐇I have a little rescue dog named Hugo, a strange, lovable cat named Timmy, and two rabbits, Caramel and Fuzzy Bunny.
🧶I love to read, spend time outside, and attempt crochet projects that are way out of my league.
🌎My favorite about Vermont is having the opportunity to easily surround myself with nature and the unique respect for the Earth that the harsh weather gives.
💗Most passionate about being present to support people in the perinatal period. It is a wild and unpredictable time and the one constant that can exist through it all, and make all the difference, is feeling that you are cared for and about and knowing that someone has your back .
